This medication is a combination of two antibiotics: sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is used to
treat a wide variety of bacterial infections (such as middle ear, urine, respiratory, and intestinal
infections). It is also used to prevent and treat a certain type of pneumonia (pneumocystis-type).
This medication treats only certain types of infections. It will not work for viral infections (such
as flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

Description

Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim combination is used to treat infections such as urinary tract
infections, middle ear infections (otitis media), bronchitis, traveler's diarrhea, and shigellosis
(bacillary dysentery). This medicine is also used to prevent or treat Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia or
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), a very serious kind of pneumonia. This type of pneumonia occurs
more commonly in patients whose immune systems are not working normally, such as cancer patients,
transplant patients, and patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim combination is an antibiotic. It works by eliminating the bacteria
that cause many kinds of infections. This medicine will not work for colds, flu, or other virus
infections.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Dosage

Shake this medication well before each dose. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring
device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Take this
medication by mouth, as directed by your doctor, with a full glass of water (8 ounces / 240
milliliters). If stomach upset occurs, take with food or milk. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this
medication to lower the unlikely risk of kidney stones forming, unless your doctor advises you
otherwise. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this
medication at the same time(s) every day.

Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms
disappear after a few days. Stopping it too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may
result in a relapse of the infection.

Overdose

Often, no treatment is needed for an antibiotic overdose. Usually, you'll need to watch for stomach
upset and possibly diarrhea. In those cases, you should give extra fluids.

Storage

Store at room temperature between 20 to 25 degrees C (68 to 77 degrees F) away from moisture, light and heat. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date. Keep out of the reach of children.

Contraindications

Analysis of sulfamethoxazole in serum from patients treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was performed with the agar diffusion assay which is supposed to measure only unconjugated sulfonamide and with the spectrophotometric method which enables one to measure both unconjugated and conjugated sulfonamide. The two methods gave serum concentrations in the same range when used in patients with intact kidney function. In patients with decreased renal function the chemical method yielded higher values, probably due to accumulation of conjugated sulfamethoxazole. The agar diffusion assay gives an accurate answer if the clinical question concerns the therapeutic effect only. The spectrophotometric analytical method has a broader potential since it may be employed irrespective of the clinical question that motivated the analysis.

Lung transplant for cystic fibrosis has been considered contraindicated in patients who have Burkholderia Cenocepacia infection. A 24-year-old white woman who had cystic fibrosis presented with respiratory failure caused by B. Cenocepacia pneumonia. She was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and a double-lung transplant. The chest cavity and both bronchi were irrigated with 0.5% povidone-iodine solution. For immunosuppression, she received induction therapy with alemtuzumab (15 mg) and methylprednisolone and maintenance therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone (5 mg daily). Postoperative antibiotics included intravenous meropenem for 3 weeks; vancomycin for 10 days; and inhaled ceftazidime, oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and doxycycline for several months. Follow-up at 25 months after transplant showed that chest radiographs were clear and lung function was normal. At 6 years after transplant, she was working full time and had no recurrence of infection from B. Cenocepacia. This case suggests that patients who have cystic fibrosis and active B. Cenocepacia pneumonia may be successfully treated with a lung transplant.

Twenty-five published trials of antibacterial therapy for acute otitis media were reviewed according to 13 methodologic standards for the design of clinical trials. Randomized, controlled trials, often with the double-blind technique, have been widely applied to assess efficacy. Bias can be further avoided by prognostic stratification according to known risk factors and by the measurement and analysis of patient compliance with treatment. A less frequently recognized problem is the insensitive trial. Bacteriologic diagnosis of the middle ear exudate before therapy can improve the sensitivity of clinical trials. The eradication of pathogens from the middle ear may be a more sensitive measure of outcome than the reduction of ear effusion. The analysis of type II statistical error should be included in trials that reveal no difference between antibacterial agents. The evaluation of new antibacterial agents for this important health problem requires rigorous research design.

The mean tissue/serum ratio for linezolid was 0.46 (range, 0.18-0.71). The mean tissue/serum ratio for trimethoprim was 1.2 (range, 0.3-4.5) for both standard and high doses, and 0.23 (range, 0.1-0.46) and 0.36 (range, 0.14-1.28) for standard and high doses of sulfamethoxazole, respectively. Linezolid exhibited inhibitory activity in time-kill assays against strains of S. aureus (0.45 ± 0.5 log10 cfu/mL) and β-haemolytic streptococci (2.2 ± 0.6 log10 cfu/mL), while trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole exhibited bactericidal (>3 log kill) activity against all of these isolates. These findings were consistent for each sampling time and for high as well as standard doses of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.

To get some information about the prevalence of Pneumocystis carinii in the Danish population we have examined autopsy lung biopsies from patients at 2 large hospitals in Copenhagen, Righospitalet (RH) and Finseninstituttet (F), in a 5-year period from 1979 to 1984. Imprints made from the biopsies were stained with the toluidine blue O method and examined microscopically for pneumocysts. A total of 1762 patients were examined and pneumocysts found in 83 (4.7%); at RH 54 (4.9%) of 1106 patients and at F29 (4.4%) of 656 patients. A possible influence of certain climatic factors on the prevalence of pneumocysts in humans was shown: low temperature, low vapour pressure and low relative humidity seem to be correlated with low prevalence of pneumocysts. The general Vagilen 500 Mg use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the hospitals may possibly influence the prevalence of pneumocysts: the amount requested in the period of the investigation is negatively correlated with the prevalence of pneumocysts.

The case of Mr M, a previously healthy 39-year-old man with erythema Cefuroxime Tablet Use and swelling of his finger, illustrates the issues involved in treating community-acquired skin and soft tissue infections since the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the community. Most community-acquired infections of the skin and soft tissues are caused by S aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. Until recently, infections due to such organisms in the United States could safely be treated with an oral antistaphylococcal penicillin or an oral first-generation cephalosporin. However, the emergence of methicillin-resistant staphylococci as community-acquired pathogens has changed the picture as far as empirical therapy is concerned. Not only do community-acquired MRSA bacteria cause furunculitis and cellulitis, they have also been involved in a variety of more serious and life-threatening infections. Most of these organisms are susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, doxycycline, and rifampin, and these agents, along with clindamycin, have been used in the therapy of such infections, even though no clinical trials have proven their efficacy. For more serious, life-threatening infections, linezolid or parenteral agents such as vancomycin or daptomycin should be considered.

Antibiotic therapy for infection with Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 is controversial because of the possibility of its inducing hemolytic uremic syndrome and acute encephalopathy. In a previous study, mice with protein-calorie malnutrition were found to be highly susceptible to this pathogen. The efficacy of oral antibiotic therapy in malnourished mice infected with O157 organisms was assessed. Mice fed a low-protein calorie diet were infected intragastrically with 2 x 10(6) colony-forming units of a Shiga-toxin-producing strain of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Infected mice were orally given a therapeutic dose of an antibiotic, including norfloxacin, fosfomycin, kanamycin, ampicillin, clarithromycin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 3 days: mice on protocol A received the antibiotic on days 1-3, starting on the day after infection, and mice on protocol B received the antibiotic on days 3-5. The duration of fecal pathogen excretion was shorter and the toxin level in the stool and blood lower in the mice that received protocol A than in untreated mice; all of the mice treated on protocol A survived the lethal infection. All antibiotics except trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, administered on protocol B, exhibited the same effect as that exhibited by the respective antibiotic administered on protocol A. Only the mice treated with protocol B of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole had a higher toxin level in the blood than untreated controls, resulting in 95% mortality. These results suggest that the antibiotics used in this study, except for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, could reduce the risk of hemolytic uremic syndrome and acute encephalopathy following Normax Tablet Uses Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in humans, and that fosfomycin, in particular, may be relevant for testing in humans.

Although simple rapid diagnostics exist, they rely on the availability of direct specimen and are not commercially available. Serological tests and nucleic acid detection are not sufficiently specific or sensitive for routine clinical use. Since the original trials defining setting the standard of care as ceftazidime, no antibiotic regimens have been shown to be superior in comparative trials, but ongoing trials are evaluating the efficacy of meropenem Cefpodoxime Proxetil 200 Mg (in intensive treatment) and (TMP-SMX) (for eradication treatment).
